Zverev is fighting into the semi -finals of the BMW Open - a comeback amazed!

Alexander Zverev continues his impressive run at the BMW Open in Munich. On April 18, 2025, the 27-year-old tennis player reached the semi-finals after winning in a gripping match against the Dutchman Tallon Griekspoor in over three hours of play. The game ended 6: 7 (6: 8), 7: 6 (7: 3), 6: 4 and represented a personal return to old strength, especially after a number of disappointing performance in the previous ATP tournaments.

The game was not only physically demanding, but also emotionally, since Zverev had to deal with a intermediate caller during the second set that insulted him. Despite the adverse circumstances and the cold, wet weather on the square, Zverev ultimately showed a combative attitude and was optimistic about his success and moving into the semi -finals after the game.

success and challenges

This progress means Zverev's first move into a preliminary round in six ATP tournaments. In the semifinals, he meets the winner of the encounter between Fabian Marozsan from Hungary and Zizou Berg from Belgium. Zverev, whose season was shaped by fluctuations so far, sees the BMW Open as an opportunity to win buoyancy for the upcoming French Open at the end of May.

Currently Zverev ranks second in the world rankings and is considered the most successful German tennis player since Boris Becker. His remarkable career includes successes such as winning the Olympic gold medal in the men's singles in Tokyo, where he defeated 6: 3 and 6: 1 in the final Karen Chachhanov.

career highlights

Zverev's career is peppered with numerous milestones. He already presented impressive successes in the young area, including winning the Junior Tournament of the Australian Open 2014 at the age of only 16 years and reaching the Junior Finale of the French Open 2013. His breakthrough on the ATP tour began in 2016 with a first significant success against Roger Federer and the winning of his first ATP tournament in St. Petersburg.

Although the player from Hamburg, who comes from a Russian tennis family, has not yet been able to win a Grand Slam title, there are significant success in the course of his career. For example, he took a place in the top ten in the world rankings in 2018 and won the ATP finals by defeating Novak Djokovic in the final.

Zverev also fought with setbacks, such as the serious ankle injury in the semi -finals of the French Open 2022, which brought him a longer break. Since his return to the best form, supported by a change of coach back to his father, Zverev was able to win an ATP tournament in Hamburg in 2023.

2024 he reached a Grand Slam final at the French Open for the second time, where he lost to Carlos Alcaraz, and was again in a final in Melbourne, again without a triumph, this time against Jannik Sinner.

Despite the challenges and the outstanding Grand Slam title, the tennis world is optimistic about Alexander Zverev's further career, which is considered a large figurehead of German tennis. The upcoming matches in Munich could be crucial for his way to the French Open and hopefully bring the swing it needs.
